Information about the Aspen Ideas Festival is here. I am scheduled for a session, The American Wellness Paradox, currently scheduled from 11:00-11:50 a.m., at the East Lawn Tent. This will be a discussion with senior HHS policy advisor, Calley Means. Here’s the blurb on it: “Americans are spending more than ever on healthcare, supplements, wellness trends, and “clean eating,” yet rates of chronic disease and metabolic illness continue to climb. As skepticism fuels the rise of movements like MAHA, debates over what Americans should eat have become deeply cultural, political, and economic. Two influential voices with sharply different perspectives on nutrition and food science explore how food systems, farming practices, consumer culture, and the wellness industry collided to create one of the defining public health debates of our time.”

Note to subscribers to Marion Nestle’s FoodPolitics.com blog
Hi. After last week’s follow.it fiasco, I’ve transferred the subscription service to one called ActiveCampaign. The e-mails should be sent out as soon as I post them, look a lot better, and will not come with ads. You should have gotten a message from ActiveCampaign asking you to Verify that you wish to continue the subscription. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder (that’s where I had to look for mine). Everything should be back to normal starting Monday. I am truly sorry this happened and for the inconvenience. Thanks for subscribing and for your patience with this electronic glitch. Onward!
